READING FOR THE YOUNG.
A GOOD PLAYMATE.

In lesson time or holiday, No matter if 'tis work or play, There's always one with heart and will To join with me: 'tis sister Phil. Her name is Phyelis, but when we Were tiny mites of five and three. I called her Phil and then somehow Twas never changed from then till now. Ihave no brothers, and it might Sometimes be dull, but Phil is quite As good playmate, and as kind As any brother you could find. She has share in all I do, She feeds my pets, plays cricket, too, And when made my boat Sunshine, She hemmed the sails with stitches fine. For rainy days she knows store Of games and tales, and, what is more, Each night she makes quite clear and plain The lessons hard that tire my brain. On holidays I often go To play with other boys know, But there's playmate better still Than all of them; 'tis sister Phil.

BALLAD OF THE BEGGAR.

The starlings fly in the windy sky, The rabbits run out arrow, The pheasants stalk in the stubble dry As tramp through the evenglow- As tramp, tramp and grow More weary with every stride, And think, as the riders come and go- If had horse to ride! The farmer trots by on his roadster high, The squire on his pony low, Young miss sweeps out from the park gate nigh And canters away with her beau. They are proud of themselves-oh, no! But couldn't I deal in pride, And couldn't I, too cut dash and show, If had horse to rides The farmer is four times as fat as I; The squire he is blind and slow; Young miss has not nearly so bright an eye As Bess at the Barley Now An, wouldn't cry ''Gee-hup, gee-ho,' And wouldn't bang his side, An. wouldn't teach him to gallop it, though, If l had a horse to ride.

Davis. the SaTc Iaobber.

TRACKED BY THE POLICE AND CAPTURED He CoNFEsSEs
HIS CRIME, AND Is HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY.
Yesterday afternoon Detectives Wheeler and
Mattingly, and the officers OF the first precinct,
continued their search for Edward T. Davis, the
engineer at Thomas SOmmerville & Sons brass
foundry on 18th street, who Is charged with rUb-
bling the safe in his employers establishment OF
$50 In gold and some foreign coin. The officers
visited a number OF disreputable houses and
spending money freely, and was seen TO have con-
siderable gold coin. one $40 gold piece he had
changed at Harvey's where he sent for oysters and
another Was changed at q bank. A $40 gold piece
gold pieces were recovered from a house OF ILL.,
fame. Last night several OF Inspector SwtndellS
detectives and Lieutenant AmiSs and officers OF his
precinct visited almost every saloon and house OF
ill-iame In the division, and learning that Davis
had left that locality, Lieut.. AmisS thought
that he would probably make his way
back toward his room at No. JOG 3l street
northwest. About O'Clock last night the
Lieutenant, with Ofi1cer weldon, started down
Pennsylvania avenue and learned that Davis
had visited the saloons on the Avenue between Sd
and Az streets. The Officers visited several places,
but failed to flnd him. Finally they visited Daey's
saloon, near Sd street, and there found Davis, who
had been very much Intoxicated, and was then
sitting on chair sound asleep. He confessed
stealing the money, and said he took IL sunday
morning when he went to look alter the fire In the
Doller-roOm, and that he was drunk at the time.
The officers found on him one OF the foreign coins
taken from the drawer with the other money.
This morning the prisoner was taken TO the Police
Court, where he was arranged on charge OF grand
larceny: II being alleged that he carried on SlIa
lie pleaded guilty to the charge and was held IOr
the acIion OF the grand jury. In default OF 81 900
ponds he Was committed To jail.
DAVIS Was recommended 10 Mr.. S0mmerville by
a member or the Central Union Mission, where he
(DavlS) attended the meetings.

A SALE OF LARGE SUBURBAN TRACT RECENTLY CON-
SUMMATED.
An important sale or suburban real estate has

lying along the Washington branch OF the & y.
railroad and College station. The purchasers are
ex-Sta,e Senator mo. Fox, or New York, and Capt.
Alex. IutZ, civil engineer OF New York city, and
the amount paid for the property was about
$lOO,uOO. The sale was practically agreed upon
last spring when the purchasers visited the
property, but the searching or the titles,
which go back many years, required q long
time. The Calvert house, picturesquely STU

Nov Comes a sugar Trust.
GREAT SECRECY OBSERVED ABOUT A PROPOSED
$5O,OOO,OOO COMBINE.
From the N. Y. Sun to-day.
For number Of months past the principal su-
gar refners OF this country have been negotiating
the formation OF trust similar to the Standard
OIL Trust, and the American Cottonseed OIL
Trust. The matter has been conducted with
the greatest secrecy. A source OF anxiety has
been the attitude OF one OF the large refining con-
Germs outside OF New York. As Is well known, the
great Oulk OF the sugar refining business OF the
country Is centered in this city. The two Out-Of-
town firms that have been considered desirable
allies are Harrison, Frazier Co.. OF Philadelphia
and Nash, Spaulding Co., OF Boston. The last
going In, and, SO far as can be learned, has not
committed itself In the matter. 1t Is suggested
that II any one Of the firms wanted to stay out OF
the combination and make an alliance with Claus
SprecIles, who has practically q monopoly OF the
sugar business OF the Pacific coast they could make
the trade that the combination may never take
such form as TO furnish the public evidence OF
It's existence for the reason that formally organ
lied trust would at once attract attention. TO say
nothing OF the antag0nism that might result In
the abolition OF the duty on sugar. This would
leave the combine" In sad plight as the hnsi-
ness Is Largely dependent upon the prOtectlon the
duty gives It BY keeping out foreign refined su-
gars. HOW Important protection Is 10 the bust
ness Is shown by the belief In the trade that those
interested In forming the combination have been
lnnuenced largely BY proposed reelection In the
drawback allowed upon sugars refined here and
exported from 26 cents to "a cents. 1t Is esti.
mentioned would represent fully $50 700 OF

The Laundrymen's Convention.
THE CHINESE QUESTION CONES UP, But NO ACTIo

The session OF the laundrymen's convention this
morning was taken up chiefly In the discussion OF
proposition to require the laundry journals not
to take advertisements OF manufacturers who sold
machinery to Chinese laundrymen. II was ad-
vanced that the selling OF laundry machines TO
Chinese must be prevented or the heather would
soon be washing all the American linen. The edi-
tors OF journals stated that they had contracts
with manufacturers for advertising and could not
tell whether they sold to Chinese or not. IL was
finally decided to let the matter drop.
There was some discussion as 10 the application
OF Howard Dumbe, OF this city, for admission TO
membership. Mr. Dumble Is a steam laundryman,
who is temporarily out OF active business. The
committee reported In favor OF his admission but
their report was laid on the table, and the appli-
cation Will have TO go over until next year. Ap-
plications were received from j. W. Morgan and
Z. NJ. Toiman, OF this city.
